The phase in any conversation, usually occurring every 20 minutes or so, where the conversation gets quiet and no one really knows what to say. This is the point in the conversation where everyone involved will be desperately fishing for topics and might take up talking about the weather.

"So.... how about that... err... I don't know what to say."
"Me either... we must've hit the 20-minute lull."

20 Minute Snooze

A young, attractive male has been partying like a mother fucker for the past 2 weeks. The only time he takes off for partying is to go out for a nice big dinner. Then he proceeds to tell everyone that he has gotten only 20 minutes of sleep the past week and he needs his rest. The group then calls his ass out on it and calls him a bull-shitter. Shortly after this, he will end up clubbing for the 15th straight night.

Dis: Yo man I doubt I'm going out tonight
Nasir: Why man it's friday?
Dis: I know man it's a great night for clubbin but I only experiences the 20 minute snooze last night.

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
